% of time observing with binos: This varies for me. I never observe without binos at my side, and do some observing with them every time I use a telescope. OTOH, I finished building a 22-inch Dob last year and that has, uh, sort of reduced my time with binos. 
That is a temporary thing, though, and I see my bino observing percentage increasing. I would say, maybe 15% over the past year. Typically, it is more like 30-40%.
60% hand held, 40% tripod.
Mostly DSOs but not one particular type. I rarely use binos for the moon or planets. Of course, binos are superb for wide field views and Milkyway cruising.
